Life at the Top Chapter 2011
The little prince and Lord Alvarado’s arrivals were announced, but they came together with Moses, Simson, and a bunch of other people.
This group of people could be regarded as being around Jasper all the time, and they were the more outstanding heirs in Somerland.
Of course, they were headed by the most powerful duo, the little prince and Lord Alvarado.
After finding a bigger room, Jasper ordered someone to fetch some tea for everyone. Then, he asked, “Everyone, what’s the matter?”
The little prince and Lord Alvarado looked at each other, and Lord Alvarado shrugged at the little prince before saying, “You should tell him.”
The little prince smiled and said to Jasper, “We already know of what happened today.”
Jasper nodded without saying anything.
He knew that the point was yet to come.
Today, the A-share market started tragically with the limit down of 1000 shares, followed by the announcement of the social security fund’s plan to enter the market. If they did not know about such a big move, then they were as good as dead.
The little prince pondered for a moment before saying, “Our group had talked about this, and we also talked to our family. We have some ideas to share with you.”
Jasper said with a smile, “We’ve been working together for quite some time. You can just tell me if it’s something serious.”
The little prince exhaled and said, “Before that, let me tell you what happened to our company recently.
“You know, a lot of us have family businesses, and during the past two years, foreign trade was easy, so we have more o r less cooperated with foreign countries. Among them, we have worked with the United States and Australia the most.
“Some time ago, to be more specific, after the Quantum Fund began to maliciously manipulate domestic food prices, we all received threats from the partners in the United States to terminate our cooperation.
“It’s actually very simple. They forced us t o choose between two options, either ending our cooperation with them or ending all cooperation JW.”
After hearing what the little prince said, Jasper was silent. His eyes turned to everyone present. No one was saying anything and their expressions were serious.
“JW’s industry has little contact with the United States, but before this, they suppressed Google, which I acquired. Then, they suspended Sena on Nasdaq for no reason, so I’ve been through all the difficulties you mentioned.”
Jasper sighed and said.
This entire time, since the beginning of the plan, the family power the little prince and the rest represented had been Jasper’s most important partner, not only because these families had a longer-term strategic vision, but also because they had stronger financial ability than ordinary entrepreneur.
Either way, it was what Jasper needed.
And they also hoped to make a fortune through Jasper.
Therefore, interests were the core basis of mutual cooperation.
But as things got bigger, what Jasper had been worried about finally happened.
Cooperation could be close because of interest, but it could also be dispersed instantly because of interest.
Right now, the United States had begun to use such means to disintegrate the power around them. If the little prince and the others could not bear the pressure, they would most likely give up their cooperation due to the possibility of heavy losses in the family’s foreign trade business.
Jasper and Soros were still not on the their
same level if one were to compare current strength on paper.
Even with the backing of Swallow Capital, i t was still the same.
Behind this was a game between Swallow Capital and Washington at the highest level. The comprehensive strength of the two countries was clear, and the difference which was an undisputable truth.
External factors aside, take the market rescue as an example. The United States government and the Federal Reserve could directly intervene in the financial market, but Swallow Capital could only use the social security fund and the plan for the listing of state-owned enterprises at the last moment. Plus, they still had to d o it through Jasper on the pretext of promoting the profitability of social security funds and the market-oriented operation of state-owned enterprises.
The one that was more confident between the two was evident.
One would not be patriotic or make their country stronger by just saying it or shouting slogans with enthusiasm. They still needed to take action to prove it.
Thus, the disparity in strength was a reality, and the drawbacks of these families had also appeared, which was that everything focused on the family’s own interests while everything else had to be put aside.
However, Jasper did not want to give up o n them before they laid their cards on the table.
“When one falls in disgrace, everyone will be doomed. You don’t need me to say more about this and I have no intention o n emphasizing the concept of going homeless if you lose your country. I will just say that if they can use this reason to coerce you to withdraw your investment and give up your cooperation with JW today, then tomorrow, will they still be able to this reason to force you to suffer a greater setback?”
Upon hearing Jasper’s words, the little prince was stunned for a moment.
“What?
“Do you think that we want to terminate our cooperation with JW?”
The little prince raised his voice.
“Do you not?” Jasper asked in astonishment.
“Damn, do you think we’re crazy? We’re about to f*cking win and we’re terminating our cooperation with you? How is this different from opening the door to the Greeks?” The little prince, a very pretentious man, started shooting curses.
The corner of Jasper’s mouth twitched. Although he did not know how they concluded that they were about to win, he found the metaphor of the little prince opening the door to the Greeks perfect.
“Haha, there are things in the world that you can’t guess, Jasper.” Lord Alvarado slapped his thigh with joy beside him.
The other people also smiled because of this misunderstanding, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
After laughing, the little prince said seriously, “Jasper, we’re not as small minded as you think. We are here today to tell you that not only have we decided to take the initiative to end all cooperation with the United States, but we have also decided that we will support you in destroying that son of a b*tch Soros even i f we have to sacrifice everything.”
“Once you do this, you will have no way out, and in my assessment, even if you win, it will be a tragic victory. The price will be very high,” Jasper said seriously.
After listening to what Jasper said, strange and thieving smiles could be seen on the little prince and the gang’s faces.
“The price will be very high, you say? As long as the family is not destroyed, we can’t wait to pay this higher price!”
